“On Saturday, August 29th volunteers will be knocking on doors in the ridings of Toronto Centre, Parkdale – High Park and York South – Weston to canvass for NDP candidates Linda McQuaig, Peggy Nash and Michael Sullivan,” Toronto Secondary Unit OECTA President Dave Szollosy stated in an August newsletter.
